A family photo is not simply a stroll down memory lane, it's a powerful portrait of how LOVE works. The belly laughs, the big kisses, the tenderness of reaching hands, and the togetherness are the essence of this incredible journey some call parenthood. If you are lucky to walk on this path, don't ever take it for granted. It's too beautiful.

Family photo shoot on Hampstead Heath in North London

Sometimes I know that when we wrap up a session, parents often think to themselves how on earth I managed to get any decent family photos. When I get to deliver a gallery and show them that even though things may have felt high energy all that chaos also involves joy and deep love. It takes skill and a ton of practice but that is the joyful challenge of family shoots and something I absolutely love about them. I spent the first few years of my business chasing the perfect editing technique, but now I only chase love and emotions that will be just as valid in 20 years. Same goes for this family photo shoot on Hampstead Heath in North London.

Editing styles will always change, but real life moments and love are timeless. So if you've ever thought that your children are hard to photograph, let me change your mind and show you just how incredible your family is! Do drop me a line if you like what you see in this Hampstead Heath family photo shoot gallery and would like to arrange a session for your own family before the holidays.
